Baby got Laugengebäck lyrics

L-A-U-G-E-N-G-E-B-Ä-C-K!

Perfectly tanned, yet elegant

Juicy and crusty, incredibly lusty

Your salty skin yeasty sin!

Fragrant and tender, I surrender!

I am obsessed with you and totally obedient.

Who came up with your magical ingredients?

Are you the devil's delicious handiwork

Or created by some genius Pastry Heisenberg?

In 1477 you descended from heaven,

Onto the griddle of your maker, some medieval Swabian baker.

You bathed yourself in lye - nobody knoes why

Fluffy and warm: the Queen of pastries was born.

A secret ancient German recipe,

Mingling ordinary baking with chemistry.

World's favourite alkaloidal snack!

All hail to thee - Laugengebäck!

Lalalalala, lalalalalala

Lalalalala, lalalalalala

Laugengebäck

Lalalalala, lalalalalala

L-A-U-G-E-N-G-E-B-Ä-C-K!

I can't say no

To alkalized dough.

Smooth and greasy, kneading goes to easy.

Drop it over night in sodium hydroxide

Sprinkled with salt

Lauge, that's what it's called!

Flour, water, salt, yeast, sugar, lye and butter

Laugengebäck makes my heart go aflutter!

Dip your dough in my alkaline solution.

Let's start an oven revolution!

Laugengebäck

Lalalalala, lalalalalala

Lalalalala, lalalalalala

Laugengebäck

Lalalalala, lalalalalala

L-A-U-G-E-N-G-E-B-Ä-C-K!

Laugengebäck...

You come in so many different shapes

Pretzels

Rolls

Breadstick

Even Croissants

Can you imagine: Croissants made out of Pretzel dough

Coated in soda lye.

I'm in Laugen heaven!

Baby got: Laugengebäck!

Don't Laugengebäck in anger!

L-A-U-G-E-N-G-E-B-Ä-C-K!

Laugengebäck for good.

Gebäck

Gebäck

Gebäck

Gebäck

Gebäck to where you once belonged...

L-A-U-G-E-N-G-E-B-Ä-C-K!

Laugengebäck
